Pure Li/sub 0.33/MoO/sub 3/ and vanadium-doped Li/sub 0.33/Mo/sub 1-x/V/sub x/O/sub 3/ crystals were grown by a temperature gradient flux technique. Directional electrical resistivity measurements have been made on both the pure and doped crystals. The electrical properties of Li/sub 0.33/MoO/sub 3/ are highly anisotropic with resistivity values at room temperatures of 1.8 x 10/sup -1/ and 6.0 /times/ 10/sup 2/ ..cap omega.. cm along the c and b* directions, respectively. Li/sub 0.33/MoO/sub 3/ shows complex semiconducting behavior and an anomalously low paramagnetic signal. The effects of vanadium substitution on the structure and transport properties of Li/sub 0.33/MoO/sub 3/ are dramatic. Attempts are made to correlate the observed electrical and magnetic behavior with the structure of Li/sub 0.33/MoO/sub 3/.
